Nordic Resources increased its FY2026 loss as it accelerated exploration in Finland, drilling nearly 11,500 metres across its gold projects and ending the year with A$8.48 million in cash. The next test is whether drilling, metallurgy and permitting can turn a growing resource base into a mine development case.

Stellar Resources has lifted its Heemskirk tin resource to 115.3kt of contained tin while technical studies move toward a prefeasibility study outcome. The company is better funded, but remains pre-revenue and faces the usual capital, permitting and execution hurdles of mine development.

Nimy Resources has paired a maiden gallium resource and encouraging metallurgical recoveries with a sharp warning about funding pressure and an unresolved Lind legal dispute. The explorer ended FY2026 with $3.92 million in cash, but a $4.76 million Lind liability and an auditor-flagged going-concern uncertainty remain central risks.

Western Mines Group has reported its richest basal nickel intersection yet at Mulga Tank, including 38 metres at 0.71% nickel from more than 1.3 kilometres underground. The exploration progress is substantial, but the company also recorded a larger annual loss, limited year-end cash and a material going-concern uncertainty.

Podium Minerals says optimisation work has maintained approximately 80% overall 3E recovery while cutting the targeted size of its downstream recovery circuit by about half. The technical gains came alongside a larger annual loss and an explicit reliance on further funding to advance Parks Reef.

Western Yilgarn expanded its inferred bauxite inventory to 244Mt and added gallium, tellurium, cobalt, scandium and gold targets during FY2026. But the explorer ended the year with $159,481 in cash, a $1.78 million loss and an auditor warning that further funding is required to continue planned activities.

GreenTech Metals has turned a year of drilling, acquisitions and capital raising into a much larger West Pilbara exploration portfolio. The opportunity is growing, but the annual report also flags a material uncertainty over future funding as the company pursues Munni Munni and Whundo.

West Coast Silver has secured a prospecting licence immediately west of its Elizabeth Hill mining lease, opening a new near-mine exploration target with historical silver, copper, nickel and palladium anomalism. The company plans to validate the old data before deciding whether to drill.

Solstice Minerals has emerged from FY2026 with a larger exploration story, a A$45.3 million liquidity base and drilling that extends Nanadie beyond its existing resource footprint. The company remains loss-making and pre-production, leaving future value tied to resource growth and exploration execution.

Iron Road’s largest shareholder has distributed its remaining 59.72% stake just as the company prepares to restart delayed nickel-copper-gold drilling at Irria. The transition also includes the November retirement of long-serving chief executive Larry Ingle, with no successor named.

West Coast Silver has added a 70%-owned prospect immediately west of its Elizabeth Hill silver mine, with historical results pointing to silver, copper, nickel and palladium potential. The targets remain early-stage: the company plans data review, fieldwork and geophysics before deciding whether to drill.

Future Metals has reshaped its Panton development plan around a potentially lower-capital Savannah processing route, but entered FY27 with only A$1.46 million in cash and a formal warning over future funding. A post-year-end A$3.56 million raising now funds the next study phase, including a larger updated resource base.
